DELTA Footing Barrier

The Problem

Often the footings of a building are not properly sealed. Capillary rise of water through the porous cement footing - known as rising damp - allows water to enter the structure, encouraging mold growth and deterioration of moisture-sensitive materials.

The Solution

DELTA-FOOTING BARRIER acts as a physical barrier between the footing and the foundation wall, resisting capillary wicking and the upward migration of moisture from footings into the foundation wall.

Product Details

• 3-ply sheet membrane
• Composed of a polyester needle-punched fabric, a polyethylene barrier, and an anti-slip surface layer

Product Benefits

• Hydrophilic needle-punched PET fabric forms a strong mechanical bond with the concrete
• Polyethylene middle layer creates a moisture barrier, preventing wicking from footings into foundation walls
• Non-slip surface coating helps keep the jobsite a safe work environment
• Highly tear-resistant, even during gravel placement
• Easy installation - lay it into freshly poured footings, smooth into place with a trowel, and form the keyway with the membrane in place
• A pre-printed center line marks the location of the keyway for simple alignment
• Rebar may be inserted into the wet concrete through an X-cut in the membrane
